PAISLEY PARK, Minn. — Police are investigating a death at the estate of superstar Prince in Carvery County, Minn., the Carver County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday.

“We are not releasing any information regarding the identity of the person who died until next of kin is notified,” spokesman Jason Kamerud said.

TMZ reported the singer had died at age 57.

Wasn't into his music, but hope the best for his family.

I posted this from my phone at work so I can not embed article. Prince was my favorite artist to fuck chicks to, when I was 10 Purple Rain was the first tape I played till it broke, and the first music that let me know women were for sex. Man this one hurts...

[TheOllam]

Just saw this Pop on Drudge. Dude was an original all the way, amazing talent and style. I thought he would be a guy that would live for a long time too, RIP

I liked a lot of his music, even covered some of his songs at live gigs. A great loss, RIP!

Prince is dead but Kanye's still alive. What a cruel world we live in.

[Guitarman]

At this rate with the famous dying there are only going to be us cover bar bands left to perform the music!

[Baldwin81]

Rest In Peace

A true artist.

Did he drown in semen? That's bad.

How do you die of the flu these days? Maybe if you wait too long for treatment like Jim Henson and pneumonia takes over, but Prince was being treated.

[UroboricForms]

I was never a fan beyond being passingly familiar with the most obvious hits. Still, he was a unique artist from a time when pop music had a whole lot more authenticity and craft to it than it does today.

[Mr. D]

There goes another one of my musical heroes...
I seriously regret not going to see his show in 2011.

I took my mother to one his concerts, I wasn't much of a fan.
Before the show started Prince spent 30-45mins walking around the arena (lower level and with bodyguards)
taking photos and singing autographs. Dude played for almost 3 hours and brought people to the stage during the final part of the conert..
Ive respected him so much since that night.

RIP!

I know Prince was a Jehovah's Witness and has turned down hip replacement surgery in the past because of his faith. He continued to suffer and use pain meds and walk with a cane instead. He might of have turned down other forms of treatment for his illness due to his faith as well.

RIP Purple One. Bumped Prince all throughout high school and college when you could still download his music from commercial music streaming websites and the chicks loved him. He came to Baltimore last year after the riots for a show and my mom and I wanted to go but it was my sister's prom night. Really regret not seeing him.

The same thing people were wrongly saying about Bowie.

How can he be "original all the way" when he was product of the postmodern era? His style and persona(s) was an amalgam of different influences and had everything to do with those that came before him (or alongside him): Chuck Berry, Little Richard, James Brown, Elvis, Hendrix, Sly Stone, Michael Jackson, heck even the Sting. Not to mention little influences he picked up from performance/art history, as well as countless characters he encountered on the streets (especially early on).

I realize we may get somewhat emotional and hyperbolic when our faves depart, but let's try to keep things in perspective.

[Sandstorm]

This is too fucking bad... so young, Why The Fuck Prince?!

[Atlanta Man]

He was a serious Jehovahs Witness, he even went door to door to proselytize as the faith demands. He may have had health issues due to refusing certain medical procedures. I had questions on the USMLE about what to do if JW followers come for treatment and refuse care or try to refuse care for minors. If that's the root of his medical issues , it is a shame.

[Chunnel]

Fuck, RIP.

1999 is one of the filthiest dirtiest greatest albums I've had the pleasure to listen to.

I know this is too soon but I've always had an issue with them. I would have hated to lose Prince due to their quackery. I had a few co-workers in the past who grew up in the religion and it literally ruined their childhoods. No holidays, no competing in sports, spent a majority of the time working for the church instead of enjoying and developing in their formative years. You could tell they had difficulty forming healthy, normal relationships with others.

[Chowder Head]

Prince is one of my favorite musicians. I've seen him in concert 3 times. I even met him at LaGuardia Airport in 2006. After we met him, the girl I was with says "Look! He walks around like George Jefferson." The first album I ever bought was Controversy. By the way, he was a true cocksman. Here's a small list of his bangs... Carmen Electra, Vanity, Sheana Easton, Kim Basinger, Ananda Lewis, Sheila E, Apollonia, and Misty Copeland. RIP Prince.

[EDantes]

Sad that he did so young

RIP player

While I'm on it, I notice a big correlation between musicians and substance abuse, mental illness, and early deaths.

Thinking Kurt Cobain, Michael Jackson, and countless others - wonder why this is?

Don't think it's just the stress of being a "celebrity" because I don't hear about the same problems nearly as frequently with Hollywood actors or professional athletes (with the exception of steroid use) for example.
